While you have that program open can you check for me how many times the Scriptures talk about God not wanting us to be "robots" or that He gave us "free will" so that our love for Him would be genuine?
I obviously want to be fair to the contrary position. | Really, what does it matter what the Bible says about free will? This song gives us the answer we need. (I know...I know...I've posted this song before. I'm sorry, I just love it.  And for those of you who've seen it a gazillion times, you know you're going to watch it one more time!) |
Nope! Not me. No way! I will not watch it this time.  Too late in the evening to dance to Arminian Jazz Music!
